Commissioners Award Community Grants for $110,000 to Help Those Most in Need

The Clinton County Commissioners have awarded seven not-for-profits with $110,000 in support for 2024.

“The County is proud to be able to support many of our not-for-profit organizations,” says Jordan Brewer, President of the Clinton County Commissioners. “While we could not fund all organizations or always fund to the amount requested, we do believe these grants will have a great impact on Clinton County residents.”

The grant program is intended to furnish funding to organizations that provide services in furtherance of County goals. The largest grant, $35,000, was awarded to The Crossing School of Business & Entrepreneurship to help provide struggling students an education, job training, and faith-based character education.

The commissioners also awarded $15,000 to Paul Phillippe Resource Center’s community transportation program. That award is part of a local match with the City of Frankfort that allows Paul Phillippe to receive additional funding from the Indiana Department of Transportation. A complete list of grant recipients is below.

The money used to fund the Community Service Grants is generated by tipping fees at the Walnut Creek Landfill. Every ton of waste dumped at the landfill is charged $2.00 payable to the County. County Commissioners then decide which projects to support based on perceived need and available funding.

Grant applications for not-for-profit funding in 2025 will be available in the fall in the Commissioners’ Office at the County Courthouse and will be due by January 1.
